H.R. 1599, also known as the DARK Act (Deny Americans the Right-to-Know Act) is designed to destroy the GMO labeling movement.

Rep. Mike Pompeo ( Republican- Kansas) and his friends from the Bio Tech industry have deceitfully designed and named the bill the “Safe and Accurate Food labeling Act of 2015.”

HR 1599 Preempts any state and local labeling requirements with respect to bioengineered food, does not mandate labels nationally, only solidifies the current policy of voluntary labeling and allows for GMOs to be labeled "natural". An new provision would take away states rights to control seeds and disallow counties from banning the cultivation of GMO crops.

HR 913- Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to deem misbranded any food that has been genetically engineered or contains one or more genetically engineered ingredients, unless such information is clearly disclosed.

Ask your representative to support HR 913 the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, “ Not ” HR 1599, also known as the DARK Act.

Please call today and multiple times. Ask your friends to call their Congressmen. If this passes the House with a big win, the Senate will follow with a law, either a bill or as a rider in an Appropriations bill.

The most widely used herbicide in the world is Roundup. Its active ingredient is glyphosate. Thirty five years ago, Monsanto had studies showing potential harm to humans. And for all those decades Monsanto has been telling us roundp.jpgRoundup was perfectly safe.

About a month ago, the International Agency for Research On Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization came out with the announcement that they were reclassifying glyphosate to a 2A rating of “Probable Carcinogen”. According to Dr. Mae Wan Ho and Dr. Nancy Swanson, “... a classification of 2A in cancer-causing potential for glyphosate on the IARC is almost the highest possible categorization.” Read more here.

The USDA has reported that glyphosate is in our water and rivers. Eighty percent of GMOs are “Roundup Resistant.” This means they are engineered to withstand multiple applications of roundup and still survive. NonGMO crops, such as wheat, sugar cane, legumes and more, use it as a desiccant to have crops “mature” all at the same time for ease of harvesting. It is sprayed on playgrounds, schoolyards, alongside roads, lawns, sidewalks. It's everywhere.

Ever wonder if it's in your body? Or more importantly, your kids' bodies?

For the first time ever, our movement gets to unite and do a crowd funded study on the prevalence of this probable carcinogen in our population. This project is being brought to us by "Feed The World" and Organic Consumers Association in the US.

What will testing do for us?

Provide us personal information so we know what’s going on in our and our children’s bodies. If we know glyphosate is in our bodies we can do something about it.

Provide data to have more ammo against Monsanto that will let the world know what they are really doing to us, not the stories their PR mill cranks out.

Give us more ammo with our representatives to push them to ban glyphosate.

Bit by bit we are uniting to create a safer, less toxic world for our kids and their kids. Please join us and be part of the solution! The study is crowd funded. Your test will cost $119. If you sign up here, $5 will go to Labelgmos.org to help educate California on GMOs and food justice.

AB 700

Ever wonder if we would have won Prop 37 if folks knew who was spending that $45M on confusing ads? AB 700 will require the real money to be clearly identified on ads. This is the first step in cracking Citizen's United. It matters!!
